Daily dose of philosophy. Hegel claims Everything and Nothing are the same by definition.

[themathtutorphd]

They're not the same, they're rather complimentary. Something can be added to "Nothing" (even though the resulting sum is no longer "Nothing", but nothing can be added to "Everything" because there's nothing outside of "Everything" to add in the first place.
Set theoretically, we say 'the compliment of "Everything" (universal set) is "Nothing" (empty set), and they're by no means equal, unless perhaps "Everything" was "Nothing" to begin with.

One quote I will always remember and teach to my kid is one I can't remember who said it. "A fool believes themselves to know everything. But a wise person admits when they know nothing."

[jonathonroberts]

Not the same. Fundamentally different. Adding A to both results in a fundamental change to both sure, but that doesn't make them the same.

[u-shanks]

People often combine nothingness with meaningless

Action is what one must do

Reaction is what becomes

[joaoboechat]

Didn't get why Nothing comes before negation. A lot of time it seems Heidegger doesn:t care to explain his conclusions

[otiswong]

so if I have 0 dollars, I have infinite dollars for me to spend?

[maxfinazzo]

That just sounds like a poor definition. Is a poor definition all it takes for things to be the same?

[sinusoidalsilhouette]

But is not nothing in the definition of nothing then?
